Finegold's lectures are on many different topic, while Akobian's are more going over his own games types. Chess.com has a study plan that could be helpful http://www.chess.com/article/view/study-plan-directory I didn't know chess.com had free videos because it kept asking me to get premium haha. Looks like a lot of good study material. Thanks! | ||

As for the videos on Chess.com, I think in order to view them fully, you have to get premium membership. Non-members only get like a 3 minute preview of what otherwise would be 30min videos, which is nothing. | ||

Only one series (Everything you need to know..) seems to be available entirely. Still good reading material in there  | ||

I always use https://chess24.com/ nowadays, great interface for the games, and live stream I especially love Jan Gustafsson and Lawrence Trent as commentators, like the Tastosis of chess. Too bad they are not commentating Tata Steel  | ||

It takes so long to finish that it's hard to pay attention to it once you are out early. And games being decided by timing out is unfortunate part of the correspondence that also takes some "seriousness" out of the competition. But this tourney was never meant to be anything super competitive anyway. And indeed the 6 month tournament came to an end at last. Congrats to Tenna for 1st place! I hope the top 3 finishers like the custom trophies! | ||

Rh8+ Kg7 48. R3h7+ Kg6 49. Rh6+ Kg7 50. R6h7+ Kg6 1/2-1/2 You know according to touchmove rule, jkillashark could have (or should have?) made his opponent block the check with his rook, giving him a free rook and a win!  | ||
